Recently, the terms "sound healing", "bioacoustic sound therapy", "healing frequencies" sound more often not only on the website of the Advanced Mind Institute, but in the world in general. The term "sound healing" is pretty, but few understand what it means and how it works. Let me do a little digression into this matter.
What is resonance in regard to living organisms? Resonance is the ability of a living organism to respond to external vibrational stimuli. Complex systems resonance was discovered back in 1656 by Danish scientist Christiaan Huygens, who discovered that two pendulum clocks placed side by side would synchronize. This also applies to biological systems. Our entire universe is a vibration. Every atom in our body vibrates.
Bioacoustics. It is a phenomenon where a living organism synchronizes with external acoustic vibrations. The sound affects the body and its cells. Our entire body begins to vibrate in unison with rhythm and melody.
If you deliberately use certain frequencies and rhythm, then the effect of sound on the body will increase. Each body organ has its own frequency and responds to it. The frequencies of each organ are known, therefore we can create acoustic programs that resonate with a particular organ. As an example, let's take the following neuroacoustic program produced by The Advanced Mind Institute, namely "The Immunity Normalization." The program uses a particular frequency range. As a result, our body begins to synchronize with the external frequencies. It is pure physics, nothing else. Every organ has a unique size, density and mass, and therefore, a unique resonant frequency. When listening to the program, the brain attunes to the external rhythm that relieves stress to which our immune system is exposed. As a result, the internal balance is restored and normalized.
Scientists have studied brain wave patterns and how they respond to external stimuli. A vast body of data shows that brain wave patterns and therefore, aspects of consciousness, synchronize with external stimuli.
Sound is the most potent means of entraining brain waves. We can make deep changes in our brain and consciousness using nothing but sound.
Let's recall the research of the famous Dr. Tomatis, the author of the treatment method, named after him. Dr. Tomatis discovered that ear does not just "hear". The vibrations stimulate the nerves of the inner ear, where they are transformed into electrical impulses. Some go to the auditory centers, and people hear them as sounds. Others create electrical potential in the cerebellum, which controls complex movements and the sense of balance. Then they go to the limbic system, which influences our entire body.
This allows us to assert that acoustic waves affect not only the organs of hearing, but the entire organism. The acoustic resonance is a complex phenomenon, affecting our entire body.
Brain synchronization occurs because of acoustic vibrations. On a three-dimensional EEG we can see chaotic processes taking place in the brain of an ordinary person. After 8-10 minutes of acoustic stimulation the hemispheric synchronization begins even in a person who has never practiced neuroacoustic meditation. When both hemispheres begin to work in one rhythm (following external acoustic stimuli), the brain efficiency increases and it can solve a task that it could not handle before. This does not apply only to mathematics, but to health as well. When a person is ill his or her brain hemispheres are nearly always desynchronized. As soon as we manage to synchronize the hemispheres with at least 10% efficiency our brain will try to solve our health issues. This becomes possible because of neuroacoustic stimulation. Many researchers believe the brain can overcome most dysfunctions when its hemispheres are synchronized. At The Advanced Mind Institute, we are working in this direction, constantly looking for various ways to achieve greater hemisphere synchronization with the help of neuroacoustic programs.
Neuroacoustic programs reduce stress. When you face stress you experience a burst of beta activity. The human brain scans and analyzes events at conscious and subconscious level to detect potential threats. A neuroacoustic program removes excess beta activity. As a result, your mental state improves.
In summary, we can say with confidence: with neuroacoustic therapy the effect goes through the brain to the body. With the traditional allopathic therapy strictly the opposite takes place, it goes through the body to the brain. This is the essence of the neuroacoustic therapy, which influences the brain to heal the body.
